It's a pretty small place, so I can understand that. Everything is vegan and organic, it doesn't get much better than that! I ordered the gnocchi which came in a red pepper sauce, then got a side of grilled veggies (which that day turned out to be peppers). The gnocchi was very tasty. The portion was a bit small but for 5Eu it was reasonable. The grilled veggies were smothered in oil which was a little strange. There was a huge selection of desserts to choose from that day, yet somehow I found myself gravitating toward the gelato. I got the chocolate & hazlenut which was delicious and a great way to cool off.

An outstanding bakery near our hotel Duomo…read more After a filling breakfast at our hotel we wanted a light lunch before taking a 5 hour tour. After returning home, I've learned that the pizza is "pizza al taglio"--crisp-yet-soft dough covered in toppings and sliced, weighed and baked to order. Amazing value.

Knowing full well that Italians frown upon cappuccinos after breakfast hours we still ordered some and they were sincerely the best cappuccinos I have ever had. I shared this fact with our host who lead me to their espresso bar and shared his secrets behind a perfect cappuccino and also handed me a special cappuccino ciocolata complements of our host. With the helped of gracious host we ordered a fantastic bottle of Super Tuscan wine with came with complementary antipasto and enjoyed one of the more serendipitous evenings in memory. Grazie Mille.

It was a lot of fun people watching and the neighbor hoods showing their colors for the upcoming Palio di Provenzano (which was just held last week). What a great atmosphere!

We were treated to an amazing offering of Brunello di Montalcino's and tasty snack of bruschetta. We described the type of wine we enjoy and the waiter (sorry, didn't catch his name) brought us a few different wines to taste. All of them were excellent. On the way out, we met a local businessman from Leonardo Shoes who claims the best pizza in Firenze is at Ristorante 4 Cantoni. We can't wait to come back so we can try their pizza and drink more wine!

First off, wow with the complaints from the other people…read more What a bunch of pansies. This was hands down my favorite spot during my whole stay in Tuscany. Firstly, it is perfectly located. After spending 2 nights in Florence with all its city noise, hopping to Siena was just what I needed. This hotel is located up in the hill so you have a great view of the city. The sunrise from the bar was something else. With that said, if you plan to walk to the city center, good luck to you. You can do it, but not during the summer. I drove to the city on our first day and was able to find parking fairly quickly. Checkin was easy. The lady who helped us (I regrettably didn't get her name but she had short hair and worked during the morning shift) was so helpful. I made a little bit of a booboo and booked a tour leaving from Florence the next day and so I had to cancel it. She found us another company doing the same tour for the next day and took care of everything. She took care of it like a boss. She also took care of another tour we ended up booking (and got us a discount) for the next day. She definitely made the whole experience stress free. Thank you so much again. Grazie. Grazie. Grazie. The free breakfast provided was something else. They legitimately have everything. The spread was quite impressive. You also get to eat outdoors with a view of the city so that was definitely a plus. We ended up eating dinner there on our first night and had a great time. The staff were extra awesome. A complete 180 from the city folk. If you need a cab, the staff will get one for you within minutes. Our room was super spacious. The bathroom was so enormous I couldn't get over it. The outdoor seating area was a nice touch. I did spend a bit of a time walking the grounds on my own and couldn't help but oooh and ahhhh. It is seriously picturesque and makes me want to get married there. I don't even believe in marriage. Special shoutout to Atla for making us awesome drinks. Negroni is now my go to. Thanks for the smokes too. You'll definitely find me here the next time I'm in Tuscany. That's for sure.

Nice, clean rooms. BIG bathrooms!…read more There are more rooms on the property than it seems, so when you make a reservation try to request a room in the main building if you want a room with a scenic view. Otherwise, your room might not have a view of Siena. Should also mention that it is a cab ride (9-12 euro depending on time) away from the center of Siena... or you can hike/walk there although I didn't attempt it. They say it is 2km but over half up that is winding up roads to the top. They have decent lunch on the grounds as well as a restaurant for dinner (I didn't eat dinner though), large pool and "gardens" you can walk through. The staff is more than accommodating and very nice! WiFi available for a hourly or daily fee. All-in-all I would stay here again if I went to Siena. Being away from the city center was a nice change!
